PowerDVD

The best player for your multimedia library

Cyberlink PowerDVD just keeps getting better and better with every new version, and is now one of the best programs available not only for playing physical DVDs but also for organizing and playing almost any multimedia file.

PowerDVD can play or view media in almost any format, from the most popular to the very obscure and specialized, so you can enjoy your entire media library, from video files, movies and tv series, to audio files and images, from this one program.

Play physical DVDs or Blu-ray disks from the program’s library, with the option of downloading the cover image, accessing reviews of movies or tv series, and, if the program is closed in the middle of playing media, resuming playback from where you left off. Upload content to the media library and it will be efficiently organized. For example, you can view media in chronological order or organize your music by by artist, album or song.

On top of all that, PowerDVD includes practically every possible playback option. Add markers, play movies with primary and secondary subtitles, play media in karaoke mode, convert 2D formats to 3D, use the frame capture function, shuffle media, and play media in full screen. There’s also the option to always keep the player on top of other apps or programs, and show each file’s technical information (format, audio channels, duration, etc).

The new Cyberlink PowerDVD 18 has improved its compatibility with streaming platforms and now can play 4K HDR or 360˚ videos from Youtube or Vimeo. This easy to use media player can also stream videos directly from youtube in mini view, or download them for offline viewing.
